oem filter is hengst even on the Detroit diesel big rig engines and most Mercedes engines
same oem for my n62 4.8is

I change every 10,000kms which is around 3-4 months and have never seen a filter like that, last owner changed oil when the service indicator says to and that is a big NO-NO, when I did the valve covers I noticed burnt oil, probably because of stupid bmw intervals 15,000kms or once a year as bmw made the last owner believe
